The Monster on Top of the Bed - Creative Edition, with My Monster on Top of the Bed was created to encourage children to write their own story.
Your child or grandchild is really the author of the first part of this book. When a child writes their own story directly on the Manuela Pentangelo's artwork, they develop a strong sense of self confidence. Almost universally, when children read their story to parents, grandparents and other adults, who "oooh" and "ahh" over the book that they wrote, their self-esteem rises. If a child needs inspiration, they simply turn to the back of the combined book and find the story The Monster on Top of the Bed.
But, the benefits don't stop there. Often, after a child re-reads a story that they authored, they begin to read other stories to get inspirations for the next story that they want to write. Night fears are likely to melt away because the child has figured out their own solution. This is especially true when they read their book to parents, grandparents and other adults, who praise them and reinforce the child's own ideas. The Monster on Top of the Bed was written for children between the ages of three to seven, but many older children have a lingering, or subconscious, fear of monsters. When they read the story to younger siblings, they also benefit.
